It was a wonderful product in the early 2010s.

I really like it ... the ios app is great, it syncs super fast, I love how easy it is to switch between plain text, markdown, todo list, etc... It's perfect for my workflow, I just find it odd that nobody else was mentioning it. So here I am doing so! If you don't use it, check it out.
It looks really, really interesting. But when you say it syncs super fast... is syncing initiated manually, or do you mean that changes on one device appear on another device quickly?

#593How can I download my notebooks on a free account? The internet says to use the desktop app, but I can't log in there without upgrading.

#594I moved to Notesnook about 6mos ago and have been pretty happy with it. The founder is active in Discord and shipping new features about every 2wks. It's E2E encrypted and open source so you can self-host if you want to. I used their Evernote importer to move all my notes and it worked about 95% accurately (only formatting that didn't transfer correctly was the checkboxes): https://importer.notesnook.com/

#595Notion is the obvious one: https://noteapps.info/note_apps/disambiguate/evernote-vs-not...
Amplenote was heavily inspired by early Evernote: https://noteapps.info/note_apps/disambiguate/evernote-vs-amp...
Reflect is another up and comer: https://noteapps.info/note_apps/disambiguate/evernote-vs-ref...
And of course Obsidian has its many evangelists, though the sharing situation with Obsidian leaves something to be desired.

Is it really though? I feel like it’s allowing many clients to exist that otherwise wouldn’t ever get written.
I see your a quantity over quality type. Electron is a great tool tbh, I'm not on the hate train, but let's not pretend like electron is some bastion of quality or performance. People's grievances are legitimate, and part of that reason is just how low the bar is to ship something with it. Great for tinkerers, but sours normal users.
